Current Affairs 2017 General Election

It's a catastrophe for the Tories.

Not if judging from how they came out of the Coalition is anything to go by

 

[Tubey]

She's here for a couple of weeks. The tories are biding their time and probably already have their coup date in mind.

It doesn't matter. What's happened now is you've got a 'leader' ignoring the obvious to save her own skin, instead of resigning and letting the party legitimately use the vote share as a reason to pursue a minority government.

She's as big a hypocrite as Clegg. Worse in a way due to the consequences. Corbyn will be PM by Christmas.

After that speech she should be locked up in the Tower.

Just GO you utter failure.

Tories and UVF sympathisers.

Nice.

Theresa will be culled by the Tories by end of the summer

I'll give her a little but longer then that, my guess would be in Sept/Oct. She's not got long to go though, the Tories are just waiting to see this deal with the DUP rubberstamped and have a few months of calm before jettisoning her.

Yet they seemingly share many of their voting intentions with Theresa May.

They want tax increases and a guarantee of the triple lock for a start...that's before we even get onto social issues.

Not going to last a fortnight after Westminster recess ends.

...a world of difference, as you well know.

The Tories are done. Stick a fork in them.

Oh she should have gone of course. But I'm not at all surprised she hasn't as she's so massively out of touch.

But saying the election next time has been handed to Labour already is just a bit preemptive because May will be nowhere near the campaign and Tories can't possibly run a worse one next time

Theresa May is making her statement in Downing Street May says she has been to see the Queen and will now form a Government.

She says she will carry out the will of the British people and Brexit, and continue with work to tackle terrorism..

Links to paramilitary groups

She says: "The Government I lead will put fairness and opportunity at the heart of everything we do.

Obviously, by crushing the lower income families as well as destroying the NHS, Police and Public Services. Tory Fair

"Over the next five years we will build a country in which no one and no community is left behind."

Apart from Gays, Lesbians, Lower Income Familes, Working Class families.....in fact anyone who doesn't have a personal fortune

May adds: "What the country needs more than ever is security "

With no police on the street

Absolute vile bitch

pete, it was a disaster for your lot. Take the battering in good grace and prepare for your party to go into meltdown. It's over for the Tories.

On the plus side, the backstabbers of the SNP have been silenced and the tories now have a decent representation up there. NI now has a genuine input that cannot be ignored and the new Conservative government has an additional two years in office. Salmond has gone, Clegg has gone and Corbyn is still in charge of Labour, what's not to like.....

 

[Kenshin]

Sky apparently saying they forcast another election as early as october.

...all of it apart from the last sentence.

May is toast. The Tories are in crisis. It's a sunny day. All is good.

I agree with that completely.

Sky apparently saying they forcast another election as early as october.

How does that work?

Surely the Tories have to agree for it to happen and I can't see them doing that for a long time.
